 * OK, this is my last post.
 * Sure, you can set up an automatic backup.
 * All I am saying is if WP is going to update itself automatically ‘out of the 
   box,’ why doesn’t it back itself up automatically? If automatic backup is not
   part of the standard package, automatic update should be an option, not default.
 * That is my suggestion.

 * You didn’t read my first post. Yes, I know I can do that, and of course I did
   once I restored the site. My suggestion is that it should be an option in settings
   and not something you have to code.

 * Well, sure it is, and I’m sure they’ll get around to updating their plugin.
 * The issue is this:
    If I do an update, I can back up my files and database prior–
   that’s what is recommended.
 * If WP updates automatically, there is no backup.
 * So here’s an actual situation where that caused a big problem (site not functional
   after update).
 * Is it really such a big deal to give end users the option of choosing automatic
   updates or not?

 * Sorry, it was 3.8.1 to 3.8.2, but it still broke the plugin.
